It’s not a secret to anyone nor has it ever been that I don’t enjoy driving. It is very ironic that driving makes such a great analogy for life itself… and you could say I’ve had a driven life. Life may be a highway, but it’s the journey that most counts. I’ve had really difficult …

October 28, 1996. My eyes felt heavy and were tightly shut, yet I felt as if I were waking from a blurry dream. I could hear my brother’s desperate cry, begging, “Please, take care of her! Don’t worry about me—I’m fine!” Others were insisting, “There’s not much we can do for her . She won’t …
In today’s society, perfectionism seems widely accepted. After all, what’s wrong with high expectations? I get that. I believe in setting standards for your life and developing a self-awareness that drives me to become a little better every day, to pursue happiness, and excellence.There’s a fine line, though. Perfectionism is the enemy of Greatness. Perfectionism …
It’s not very often that I get out of my cave to go out just to go out, so I hunted for my high heels, arranged a date with some amazing ladies from my church, and let my wild hair down for the private screening of The Good Lie movie. To give you a little synopsis, …
I have more than one miracle story, although I won’t be discussing any specific one today. Instead, I’m sharing an article of mine that was published on Miracle Magazine and that seems so relevant during this time of my life when I’m being faced with much opposition, my daughters are having birthdays, and we’re entering …

I’ve been blessed to mentor many brave, beautiful moms who truly inspire me beyond measure. Unfortunately, …
I have learned that achieving JOY, FREEDOM, and MEANING in life is a journey, rather than a destination. While isn’t an effortless process, as some would want you to believe, it isn’t unachievable either, as some may assure you. It does require daily awareness, conscious focus, and moment-to-moment remembrance of our divine identity. In layman’s terms, …
Throughout my life, I have learned many lessons that have become more like core mottoes in my life. A very meaningful and kind of a big deal one is: When People Walk Away From You, Let Them Go. You see, I used to be very ATTACHED co-dependent. It was the kind of “loyalty” that forces …
The last Sunday of July is Father’s Day in my home country and August 10th is my dad’s birthday. I miss my DAD. He is my HERO in so many ways. He always finds a way to LIFT me up, CHEER me up, replace my tears with GIGGLES and SMILES, and help me see my …
As moms, we give a special meaning to “the grass is greener on the other side.” It’s common for us moms to assume that someone else “has it all together” and that we are alone in our inadequacy, craziness, and chaos. We presume “no one could possibly understand” what we go through or what goes …
